Summertime, and the Livin' is Easy

It doesn't take much to have a good time when you have a house full of kids.

Over the weekend, we had a lot of fun getting muddy

hanging around in trees

and picking wildflowers.

Auntie very ingeniously packed costumes amongst the luggage, so this morning the boys have been playing superheroes (both have red capes, courtesy of Nana), and cowboys, and fire-fighters. Soon we're off for a fishing expedition. I'm not sure how poles with real hooks will work out with four little ones in the vicinity...but it should be an interesting experiment. If nothing else, we'll make some lasting memories.

So glad you're having such a nice summer visit with family. Summer is finally starting to show up around here, slowly but surely.

Bandaids and wirecutters. Necessary items to accompany any fishing trip which includes people under 13.

Great pictures - adorable children.

Be very careful with those fish hooks. When I was younger, I was casting and hooked myself in the back.

I was 35 years old.

Gorgeous photographs! Love them! I completely agree with don mills diva...so wonderfully have you captured the essence of childhood.

Would that we could bottle that!

CBW hahaha -- sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh, but that was funny.

And Lceel, you're prescient. We needed the wirecutters, in fact, for the one that got away -- and took the hook and bobber with it!

Thanks, all, for the compliments on the photos. I'm trying to learn more about photography, and I do love trying to capture the essences of the kids.

Looking at those pictures I'm suddenly 6 again, spending the summer with grandparents at the lake in Lebanon, Tennessee. Picking flowers and skipping stones on the lake... ahhh, sweet nostalgia.

Enjoy every minute!!

What beautiful pictures. I am glad it is warming up there. It has been over 90 degrees here since March!!!
